Last July, reality star Khloé Kardashian and her ex-partner Tristan Thompson welcomed their second child together via surrogate. The co-parents have kept the name of their child under wraps, with the Good American co-founder teasing that the name would be revealed during season 3 of her show The Kardashians. Now, ahead of the premiere, the name of Khloé and Tristan’s child has been revealed.
Reportedly, the name news was revealed to The Sun via an anonymous source. According to the source, Khloé and Tristan named their second child, a baby boy, Tatum Robert. Using a moniker starting with the letter “T” is a trend Khloé had previously shared she wanted to continue, as she and Tristan named their first child together True. The name Robert is a nod to Khloé’s father, Robert Kardashian, who passed away in 2003 from esophageal cancer.
The Sun‘s source shared that, “There was talk about whether it should be Tatum Robert or should it be Robert Tatum. Some in the family were leaning more towards Robert because it honors her dad and her brother.” The former couple has not confirmed nor denied the name announcement.
Just last month, Khloé discussed her son’s name during her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. “He’s named, but I haven’t announced it yet,” Khloé revealed before sharing that she was stuck on a name for her second child. “At first, I really did not know what I was going to name him. I wanted to meet him, feel him out a little bit. So at first he didn’t have a name.” She then went on to explain that she was saving the reveal for the premiere of season 3 of The Kardashians, which is set to premier on May 25th.
While there is a chance that this name reveal is true, we will have to wait for an official announcement from the reality star to be absolutely sure. We look forward to hearing Khloé officially reveal her son’s name!
